The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 23, June 4, 2000, Article 1
SUBSCRIBER UPDATES
We have no new subscribers this week, but we do have an
updated subscriber count. First off, there was a typo in last
week's count - it should have said 303. Secondly, we lost two
subscribers this week: Cathy Early and Bob Christie. This ought
to bring us to 301, but more on that in a moment.
Bob has the honor of being the first E-Sylum contributor to
send a submission via the U.S. Postal Service. His letter
stated:
"I'm writing to tell you I'm no longer on the internet. Thus, you
can drop my name from the E-Sylum mailing list. I wasn't
using the internet enough to make it worth while being
connected.
Best wishes on The E-Sylum. Membership has grown from
about 175 when I joined to over 300. If I'm on-line again
some day and rejoin, it will be interesting to see how many
subscribers there'll be."
I guess this internet thing was a flash in the pan after all.
Oh well, we'll keep hanging in there. Bob's note prompted
me to review the subscriber list, and after cleaning and
recounting, it seems the actual total is now only 296. So
it'll be deja vu all over again when we get back up to 300
again, hopefully long before the ANA convention later this
summer. So please be sure to mention the E-Sylum to
your fellow bibliophiles and researchers.
